Interesting Note: In Cuba, the tourist is king. In a dispute between a Cuban citizen
and a foreigner, police will almost always take the side of the tourist. Although

and, generally, if something is illegal in your country of origin, it is fair to assume
that the same act is illegal in Cuba. If you commit a serious crime, regardless of
where you come from, you will be prosecuted.
